About Me

I am married with children. My husband and I are doing our best to raise open minded, caring, happy kids. But we are realistic, so we are keeping records of our shortcomings for the therapists they'll surely need in the future.

I've been caught cheating on ya'll again. Damn. You know the problem with starting a blog? People actually start to read it. Then they expect you to post. On a regular basis. People like your husband's friends make comments on how you haven't posted anything new lately. To him. Then your husband makes a remark about how you haven't been blogging. And you say, "Hey I've been busy." And he laughs and says "With Facebook?" Shit, cold busted! Because as much as I'd like to blame the holidays and work and life. They really aren't responsible for my lack of posting. The black hole of time suck... um Facebook is more addicting than I ever imagined possible.

So here's a recap of what's been going on here lately. You might want to go get a source of caffeine before reading. Really, it's that exciting. Go ahead get a drink, the blog will wait...

The girls were totally spoiled rotten for Christmas, RipStick, castle doll house and ipods, need I list more? I had to work 4 of the 10 weekdays they were off school and 2 of those 10 days were holidays. That leaves for a very short break, one that actually left us wanting more. And guess what? They have a 4 day weekend next weekend. Causing me again to ask, who the HELL plans our school calendar?

Brian's department has pared down it's options for flex days. They are still working four 10 hour days with one day off, but they are alternating each quarter between Monday and Thursday. Guess which day Brian got? Not Monday. Tomorrow will be his first Thursday off. I'm skeptical. Oh and guess which two days of the week I usually work? Go ahead, guess.

Speaking of work. I survived Christmas. And the aftermath. You know what the aftermath of Christmas is in the card industry? Go ahead, guess. Valentine's Day. I swear the day after Christmas I put up Valentine's cards. And you know, everyone complains about how early it is, but damned if people weren't looking at them as I was putting them up!

My newest tv obsession, since everything has been reruns over the holidays, has actually been Hulu. I am almost finished watching Season 3 of Party of Five. I wanted to start watching from the beginning, but they only have Season 3 online. Why season 3? Your guess is as good as mine. Anyone have Season 1 or 2? Want to loan them to me? I'll pay shipping. Seriously contact me, I need my Matthew Fox, the early years, fix.

Guess what I'm doing today. Go ahead. I'll give you a hint. It starts with face and ends with book. NO not just hanging out online. I'm meeting an old friend, one I have reconnected with online. She lives in a city about 45 minutes from here and works only 20 minutes from me. So we are doing lunch today. See that Facebook isn't a total waste of time.

Oh yeah, one last little thing. Guess who's playing in the NCAA Football National Championship? Yep, that's right my alma mater!

Just in case you aren't much into NCAA Football, this is the match up tomorrow night!

And if you still could care less, then maybe the fact that the Gator team is lead by this guy... could convince you to cheer for the GATORS?! I don't know about you , but ...That reminds me, it's time to shop for some new Gator Gear! Later Gators!

you crack me up. I used to do the cards too...for AM. I did like it, but what I DON'T miss??? The flippin papercuts. they were murder.Glad the kids had a good Christmas. Tell them my kids only got rocks and dirt this year. just kidding. they also got sticks. ;)GOOD luck to your GATORS. That guy is huuuuuunnnnnkkkkkyyyyyy.

Just for the record you H-A-T-E-D facebook when I told you to check it out. I think one of your status updates was something like "This is a time suck, I am outta here"... HAHAHAHA! NAH NAH NAH! I knew you would get as addicted as me!

Great post ... but sorry to hear about the schedule change. Tree went down today (after 2 hours of de-treeing by myself last night). It's nice to have a normal house, but sad to think the fun is gone. Now back to work (which has been busy since Dec. 23rd) and saving a buck. :-)

All those football pads really create a huge, tragic loss of my ability to appreciate humans as artwork. With all that equipment on, I can rarely catch a glimpse at those chiseled arms, firm pecs, and defined abs...football pants on the other hand, well, I can live with them.
